Words by Donatella Azygous
“I think one of my favorite things about world renowned, successful tattoo artists is to hear where they came from and how they started. Most start from nothing and their paths are filled with struggle and madness. Right now, we get to witness them in all their glory and it’s so well-deserved and so beautiful to see. It’s such an amazing thing to understand what the human spirit can endure and yet come out on the other side a whole different person with a whole different life and a whole new purpose. Thank God for Art, Thank you Big Sleeps for adding this beautiful “Transcend” cuff to my body. It will be forever cherished. “
On June 19th, 2020, the Village at Leimert Park celebrated Black independence presented by Pray for the Hood and Hot and Cool Cafe, a local hot spot for artist to showcase their talent and have a cappuccino.
